Because images displayed in the top view screen are processed from each camera,
the top view screen may display in the following ways.
If an image containing an object with a conspicuous color is picked up by any of
the cameras, the screen area for each camera may be affected and it may display
in that color.
Obstructions displayed in the front view may not display on the top view screen.
If the position or angle of each camera changes due to tilting of the vehicle, the

Refer to Parking Sensor System on page 4-198.
¾ Do not turn the steering wheel any more until the vehicle has passed the
obstruction, even if the obstruction is not visible on the side view image. If the
steering wheel is turned even more, the vehicle may contact the obstruction if it is
turned sharply.
NOTE
Because there might be a difference between the image displayed on the screen
and the actual conditions, always check the safety of the surrounding area using
the mirrors and directly with your eyes when driving.
Even though the object displayed on the screen, such as a road curb or a division
line of a parking space, and the vehicle parallel guide lines appear parallel, they

CAUTION
¾ The front of the vehicle swings out wide when turning the steering wheel while
reversing. Maintain sufficient distance between the vehicle and an obstruction.
¾ The parking sensor detection range has limitations. For example, obstructions
closing in from the side and objects short in height may not be detected. Always
confirm the safety around the vehicle visually when driving.
For details, refer to the parking sensor obstruction detection indication and
warning sound.
Refer to Parking Sensor System on page 4-198.
NOTE
Because there might be a difference between the image displayed on the screen,
such as indicated in the following, and the actual conditions when parking, always
check the safety at the rear of the vehicle and the surrounding area directly with
your eyes.
Even though the back end of the parking space (or garage) displayed on the
screen and distance guide lines appear parallel, they may not actually be
parallel.
When parking in a space with a division line on only one side of the parking
space, even though the division line and the vehicle width guide line appear
parallel, they may not actually be parallel.
The following shows an example of vehicle parking with the steering wheel turned
to the left while backing up the vehicle. When backing into a parking space from
the opposite direction, the steering operation is reversed.

3. Once the vehicle width lines and the sides of the parking space on the left and
right are parallel, straighten the wheels and back the vehicle slowly into the
parking space. Continue checking the vehicle's surroundings and then stop the

Margin of Error Between Road Surface on Screen and Actual Road Surface
There might be some margin of error between the road surface appearing on the
screen and the actual road surface. A margin of error in the perceived distance could
lead to an accident, therefore be aware of the following conditions which can more
easily produce errors in the perceived distance.
The vehicle tilts due to weight of passengers and cargo.
If the vehicle is tilted, obstructions picked up by a camera can appear farther or
